The biggest marijuana day of the year is exactly three weeks away. On Oct. 17, 2019, marking the one-year anniversary since recreational marijuana sales commenced in Canada, rules governing the sale of derivative pot products will officially go into effect. However, new products won't hit dispensary store shelves until about two months later.
Derivatives are non-dried-flower marijuana products. Examples include edibles, concentrates, vapes, topicals, and nonalcoholic infused beverages. Prior to Oct. 17, 2019, only dried cannabis flower, cannabis oil, and sublingual sprays were given the green light by regulatory agency Health Canada.
